The Conference

This is a novel, a crime novel, a noir novel, a romance.

This story sees as protagonist Don Virgilio P. In the background a fortified church of the year thousand. In the story of this priest are intertwined those of other characters, especially female: Sister Constance, the faithful Perpetua, the friend Giulia, the marshal Severi.

A little country priest, shy, curious and haughty. If necessary philosopher, agronomist, alchemist, astronomer and veterinarian; always around with the bike, up and down the countryside of Siena, accompanied by the faithful white dog: here is the figure of Don Virgilio P. da Cortona.

The priest moves with particular ease among the enigmas of the human soul; among the crimes of real life, as well as among the mysteries of the unknown.

Figure not as small as the man, looks with discretion on scenes of crimes and mysteries, often, but not always, set in the Arezzo and Siena countryside.

Behind the anonymous appearance hides one of the sharpest minds that has ever crossed those places. Don Virgilio for years has listened, in the secret of the confessional, errors and horrors of men, learning to untie the most difficult knots.
